We two<br />
(for Franc)<br />
We two<br />
move backwards in time<br />
receding towards oceans<br />
dripping magic curses from our tongues<br />
and spilling flowers from our mouths<br />
We two<br />
rearrange the alphabet<br />
dismantling vowels into hieroglyphics of sound<br />
speaking multi-colored syllables<br />
and bleeding language from our eyes<br />
We two<br />
scatter numbers to the wind<br />
decorating the sky with an arithmetic of stars<br />
smashing the clouds into silent symbols<br />
and making shapes from the wind<br />
We two<br />
swim in reverse seas<br />
speak strange syllables<br />
and subtract the stars<br />
from the geometries of wind<br />
